5 Ways Your Life Will Improve After Getting Your Legs Done!

Many people seek treatment for varicose veins because they’re self-conscious about the bulges and discoloration that varicose veins cause. Once their damaged veins are closed and/or removed, they notice a number of improvements in the way they look and feel.

You’ll Feel Better

When you have your vein disease treated, the heaviness, fatigue, discomfort, swelling, and pain that are often associated with varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency will be relieved. Furthermore, the legs are less tired at the end of the day. Simply put, they feel better. When you feel better, you want to do more, so our patients generally work out more and enjoy activities that they were held back from prior to treatment.

Your Circulation Will Improve

Varicose veins are often caused by damaged or weakened valves inside the veins that prevent blood from owing upward as it should. Therefore, once the impacted veins are removed through one of our minimally invasive treatments for varicose veins, your circulation, which is an important part of your overall health, will improve. The blood flow that was moving incorrectly in the major vein, called the greater saphenous vein, will be rerouted to healthier veins in your legs that are working properly.

You’ll Have a Reduced Risk of Serious Venous Issues

When damaged veins are closed and/or removed, you’ll have less chance of developing blood clots that can be serious and potentially fatal if they are in your deep veins. Before doing any vein treatment, we use the latest in ultrasound technology to diagnose underlying vein problems. That means that we’ll be able to pinpoint the exact nature of your vein disease before it gets worse. When vein disease is left untreated, you may develop more varicose and spider veins, swelling in your legs and ankles, skin changes in appearance and texture, and even skin breakdown and ulceration due to the high venous pressure.

No More Compression Stockings

If you’ve been managing your varicose veins by wearing compression stockings, you’ll no longer have to do that. Many primary care doctors may recommend wearing compression garments when any symptoms of vein disease may be present but this is simply conservative therapy and will not cure vein disease. The compression will help the blood ow while the stockings/ socks are on your legs, but when removed, the same problem will persist. However, vein disease treatment has improved dramatically in the last 15 years and now the medical standard is an ablation of the greater saphenous vein to correct the problem.
